Never seen Death Note. Don't plan to...At least not until it falls into obscurity; I hate popular things. When I got into HxH, it was extremely obscure. It does DESERVE to be popular though...But most of the popular things people tell me I need to "be into" turn out to be overrated.

It's a great anime. Don't deprive yourself of a great story just because you think it's too popular. It's popular for a reason. (like you said)
